In extreme weather – heat, cold, rain, or snow – the time it takes to enter or lock a building can often lead to discomfort. For this reason, many home and building owners look to metal door canopies to protect those entering and exiting the premises. In this blog, we’ll outline some of the key benefits and advantages of metal door canopies.
The most obvious benefit is that metal door canopies shield home and building entrances from rain, snow and direct sunlight, offering protection to both people and the door itself. There are, however, a variety of other reasons why metal door canopies are a great choice.
Improved accessibility. One of the best benefits of a metal door canopy is that it creates a dry area for entering and exiting a home or building. This is particularly important for people with mobility issues who may not be able to open or lock a front door quickly. In addition, because they prevent water from puddling near a front entrance, they can improve safety by eliminating water, snow and ice from the area around the door, which are potential slip and fall hazards.
Valuable curb appeal. Metal door canopies complete the look of an entrance, adding a visually appealing element to a building’s exterior. Stylistically, door canopies enhance the front entrance of a building, lending a classic look and completion to the building’s design.
Extreme durability. Because they are constructed of the most durable materials available, metal door canopies can withstand harsh weather conditions year after year without showing damage or deterioration from fading, cracking, warping, or rusting. As a result, they are a low-maintenance option and require minimal care and cleaning to keep them looking new when compared to other door canopy materials such as canvas or fiberglass.
Customizable designs. Metal door canopies can be designed to match a home or building’s architecture and aesthetics. Buyers can choose from a variety of colors, styles, and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose canopies that complement their home’s style.
Energy savings. This is a particularly compelling benefit of metal door canopies: they can block direct sunlight and excessive heat around a front entrance, which can significantly reduce cooling costs. In the winter, they can help block inclement weather and cold winds to protect the home from drafts.
